London Apartment 1 Bedroom Accomodation in Islington (LN-691)
Broadway Market in Hackney (near Hackney City Farm and lovely Regent’s Canal) is only open on Saturdays—but it packs enough food in its stalls to last savvy shoppers a full week before their ritual return. This loyalty was earned by a range of peerless treats, from cupcakes with organic frosting (in flavors such as elderflower and salted caramel) to garlic-mushroom spreads that are worth eating whether or not your significant other will kiss you for the rest of the day. On top of all that, there’s a Vietnamese café and a traditional Cockney food stand featuring authentic East End favorites like jellied eel! As they say: When in England…
Once a week, the Sunday UpMarket on Brick Lane manages to outshine all the cheap Indian food restaurants in the area. This is perhaps London’s most ethnically diverse market, positioning Polish kielbasis next to Japanese pancakes and Ethiopian spicy stews. Forget Disney’s “It’s a Small World”—this is the real deal…and much more delicious!
We could go on and on about Berwick Market, the food stalls on Portobello Road, the West Indian Brixton Market, etc., but you’ve definitely got the idea by now—and maybe a craving, too. So when you’re in London, stop by these markets and bring some flavorful finds back to your New York Habitat vacation accommodation for a memorable meal of your own. We suggest:

This is a really good question indeed!! I would think that if there is any food to try out in London it would be the Indian food!! And of course the British Tea!!

Borough Market in Southwark is also wonderful and huge! New organic section and not far from M. Manze’s famous mash and pies.

The Sunday market on Brick Lane is just a lesson in may ways then one. Food and people that are so diverse one doesn’t know where to start from. I on the other hand stuff myself silly.

The Sunday Market on Brick Lane sounds amazing. I had always heard that you couldn’t find any good food in London. I would need to have an apartment right near by so that I could just roll home after trying all of that tasty food!

On those long forgotten days in London when Saturdays were considered Market Days and all the little cooks and coutry folks would flack to them. Whatever happened to those days?
